Nintendo really does suck.

I missed out.

Hate this. Basically Nintendo screwed half the population. It's a small price for salvation I guess.

Its only going to get worse if the Scalpers get a hold of this. They already messed up the Pokémon 25th anniversary Mcdonalds Training cards.

I HATED THAT SO MUCH OMG I hate people. It wasn't like they were good cards. Ugh You don't need 30 happy meals. I hate this Nintendo just needs to get their crap together. It's not hard to print cards. It's really not. I don't want to be left out for the second time. I didn't get them last time and I won't this time I feel it. Unless of course I blow 100+ dollars and my soul.

I mean it amazes me how Nintendo is not even thinking about this when you have Sony and Microsoft trying their best to fight against the scalpers when the PS5 and Xbox Series X were released. Nintendo didn't even do a thing to stop the scalpers when they got their hands on the Happy Meals for Pokemon.

The point is that if these Scalpers get a hold of the Sanrio amiibo cards for Animal Crossing New Horizons then its going to make buying them online a lot more harder than before. You won't know if you're getting the real thing or being scalped by so much money. This is the part that worries me and I don't see many people being concerned about this.

I know it's just cards but it's the damn principal of this stuff. Just print a surplus of cards or at the very least let Americans pre order. It's not like everyone can take off work or even drive or even have a target to go to to get cards. I honestly don't care about the items. I just want the cards since I've sought after them for years. I even almost spent 100 dollars to get them just because I really liked them. Ugh..

I really wish they would have had them at GameStop as well as Target . My closest Target is 30 minutes away which could be much worse. I feel bad for those that don’t have one , can’t drive or it’s too far away to get to. Hopefully people can order online and people can pre-order soon,

I know I have stated too many times that I think they will be available online based one the November rerelease of regular amiibo cards. But it occurs to me that I’m the flip side if people are going to be traveling long distances to Target, you should confirm before you drive that they are actually available in store.

where I live, in a major metropolitan area with dozens of targets within reasonable driving distance, none of the stores seemed to ever carry the cards in store. They were available only online, not for in store pickup, not for same day delivery, only for mail order. These cards are going to be new to the US, so I would hope they would be available in stores, but it would be terrible for people to travel long distances and find the cards aren’t in stores.

with respect to the lack of information at target. I worked in a big chain store in the past (Macy’s) and you would be surprised how much information just does not necessarily make it to the local stores and how disorganized the whole organization can be. I hope target will get their act together soon, and get some decent information out soon, but though super frustrating, it is not very surprising.

I saw an article back in may saying that nintendo planned to continue to reprint amiibo cards to demand, but have not seen anything about long term plans since. Does anyone know anything more recent?

relatedly, does anyone know if regular amiibo card packs (series 1-4) will be coming back in stock (not to mention welcome amiibo cards)? Or know if somewhere that has them in stock? (not third party sellers selling the packs for above list price) sorry this is not exactly related to the Sanrio cards but I have searched and searched for info but thought if anyone would know, someone here might.

Assuming you are in America, I’m 99.9% sure GameStop carries the regular cards in mystery packs. They started restocking them a few months ago, I believe.

I am and they did! But they have been sold out for the last month, with no indication of when they will be back in stock, if ever! I should have bought more when they were still in stock

Oh no! On GameStop’s website, it says they are available for store pickup - maybe they have another location near you?

Amazon also has series 2 packs for $11 and one from each for $54 (which seems crazy expensive...)

I hope you can get some soon!

Hit me up on release day. I'm in a major metro area with like Targets all within 10 minutes from me. If I can score extra packs I'll let you know. The only caveat is that you'll have to be very comfortable sharing shipping details(in private! Not publicly lol) so I would know who and where to send it. Ive traded on the amiibo forum here before if it helps. I can't make any promises, but if you're comfortable, I'll do my best.

I noticed that! But when you try and add to cart it is not possible and no matter where I tried (tried my own address and my parents who live 2 hours away) or how far I set the search area no store had them, so it seems to be just a sort of system quirk or error. But I will keep trying!

yeah the Amazon cards look like they are being sold by Nintendo at first but they are all actually being sold by weird third party companies. I don’t know why but eBay seems somehow more trustworthy for that kind of thing.

thank you for trying to help me though! Maybe they are just extra sold out in California.

I am also willing to do this!

If nintendo is planning reprints by demand surely there is a place to give feed back in a reasonable manner on the topic of the amiibos??

I'm alright with this and if the offer is still open I'll take you up on it.

They already have.

Sanrio packs are selling for a few hundred bucks a pack on Ebay.

So sick of this.

Now even the pre order links are gone in Australia.

I missed out.

A while ago I got sanrio fob tags off ebay. Have you tried something like that?

I have a legit Etoile card and the rest were a fan made set.

I wanted to buy the real set.

 

[Plainbluetees]

Spoiler: eBay prices (for a TWO PACK??)

I really wish the cards were available at Target for preorder. I don’t feel comfortable giving out my shipping information on a forum (not for any reasons other than privacy) and I don’t want to pay $25+ to have them shipped internationally. I really wish they would have released more information about how to buy them in America.

Yeah, fear of missing out is a nasty psychological manipulation tactic Nintendo seems to be relying on a little too much, to the point of limiting digital sales and not filling all preorders.
